Setup ASP.NET 1.1 on VISTA

October 7th, 2008 by Sameer | Filed under Uncategorized.

As strange as it sounds, yes, you might need to setup ASP.NET 1.1 and VISUAL STUDIO 2003 to work on VISTA.

Here’s how to do it. I read maybe ten other pages and tried tons of different things but this is the definite guide on how to make ASP.NET/VS2003 work on Vista.

Thanks dude!

A few comments about developing on Vista. I am running a lenovo T61 (Vista 32bit) with 2GB ram with VS, IIS7, SQL Server 2008 with Full Text catalog, and the whole works, so when memory was getting full (i.e. had Outlook open, Excel open, as well as all that other stuff) it was actually TOTALLY FREEZING for literally 5 minutes a time (even the clock was frozen).

I managed to remedy this problem by buying and using a ReadyBoost compatible USB disk and I don’t have this problem any more. Try it out. I think it’s a pretty creative and useful feature that they put in Vista!

    [...] old enough to be replaced. Secondly, installing .NET 1.1 on a Vista machine is not as easy as you think. No, we are not lazy programmers, we just don’t want to introduce unnecessary complications [...]
